Budos Band EP

Previously-unreleased work from the Budos Band — recorded a few years back in Brooklyn, and finally seeing the light of day on this sweet vinyl-only EP! The grooves here are wonderful — and show the group really picking up a lot of global elements in their funk — some key Ethiopian lines in the horn passages and keyboards, mixed with deeper American elements in the rhythms — all wrapped up with the kind of perfect production that’s always made the Daptone label one of the most trusted imprints we know for deep funk! Stunning throughout — and why the hell they didn’t release this stuff years back is beyond us — but we’re more than happy to have it now. – Dusty Groove
